The golden chariot and phoenix descended slowly from the clouds, and Huo Wuji and other immortal heads greeted him outside the Wuji Hall.

As the grandson of the Empress Dowager, Mu Lin was naturally also in the pick-up team.People in the fairy world don't need to perform secular rituals, all the fairy masters stand in place, looking up, Mu Lin is holding the fox, standing beside He Wuxian, his eyes seem to be aimed at the phoenix in the sky, but he is looking at the people around him from the corner of his eye .

The fake master master is here, Master He is there, junior master uncle is there, and the elders of the other fairy sects are also there.

The only one who didn't come to greet him was Mu Wuqing.

This time when he came to Taiyang Mountain, the Empress Dowager Yu did not mobilize her troops, she accompanied her with about twenty guards and servants, and Yujian drove her around.These bodyguards all know martial arts, and some of them are monks. They are dressed in vermilion and bright yellow royal uniforms. At first glance, they don't look like ordinary people in the world.

When Feng Yu landed, a servant girl stepped forward, bowed her waist and raised the golden silk curtain.

Everyone bowed slightly and clasped their fists together, saying in unison: "Welcome to the Empress Dowager—"

"All immortal masters don't need to be too polite." The Empress Dowager exchanged a few words with Huo Wuji and others.She didn't seem to notice Mu Wuqing's absence, she just waved to Mu Lin and said, "Ah Lin, come here."

Mu Lin obediently walked to her side, and said in a low voice, "The imperial grandmother."

The empress dowager is wearing a phoenix robe, with a little powder and daisy, she seems to be pampered and well-maintained, except for the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and a few strands of white hair on her temples, she doesn't look old.She raised her hand slowly, and stroked Mu Lin's shoulder hair with her long hollow golden fingers. She stared at Mu Lin and said, "Ah Lin has grown up a lot."

The empress dowager misses Mu Lin, on the one hand, because Mu Lin is her own grandson, and on the other hand, because Mu Lin is the only blood left by Princess Cheng Yuan, regardless of appearance or personality, this child is very similar to Princess Cheng Yuan, Through him, the queen mother can always see the shadow of her dead daughter.

At this time, Huo Wuji who was at the side suddenly said: "Empress Dowager, Wu Qing is guarding Jiang Mo's eyes, unable to move away..."

"You don't need to tell me." The eyes suddenly sank, the queen mother interrupted Huo Wuji, a bit of hostility appeared on her originally kind face, "Didn't he avoid me for so many years?! He felt ashamed, so he naturally had no face to show up. "

"I'm here for Ah Lin." Her eyes swept across all the monks present, and then fell on Mu Lin again. "The competition is approaching, so I ask Master Huo to lead the way."

The Promise Sword Sect, the school field.

Except for the high platform where the empress dowager and the immortals were seated, which seemed a little deserted, other places were full of colorful tides and crowds of people.There are two competitions this afternoon, and the disciples of various immortal sects gathered in the school grounds, whispering to each other, so it was very lively.

"Hey, did you see it?" One person raised his chin and nodded to the high platform, and said, "The one sitting on the right side of Head Huo at the top is the Empress Dowager Yu!"

"Queen?!" A disciple in Tsing Yi said, "Why does the queen mother of a country come to a place outside the world?"

"Isn't it because of her grandson—the inner disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect Qilin Peak, the son of the Ruthless Sword Master, Mu Lin." Another person continued, "Here, look, he is sitting next to the empress dowager."

Everyone looked around after hearing the words, and one person was surprised: "Isn't this the brother who was the first in the competition yesterday and picked a whole 26 fairy lanterns in Xiaojing Lake?"

"That's right, it's him!" One person spread his hands and said, "Many female cultivators screamed and screamed, but he ignored it, so arrogant."

"I don't even look at his identity," another purple-clothed monk said, "At first, I also thought his swordsmanship was good, but now I have to suspect that there is some water in it. After all, the Queen Mother came to the Wuji Immortal Association, and the Wuji Sword Sect He is the host, and the immortal elders of all sects have to be more scrupulous and give him a good ranking, so as not to embarrass the Wuji Sword Sect and the royal family."

No matter how loud their discussion was, it still couldn't reach Mu Lin's ears.At this time, he was sitting beside the empress dowager, holding the fox in one hand, and the other hand was held by the empress dowager, and he patted the back of his hand.

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Lin with pity: "A Lin is suffering."

Mu Lin pursed his lips uncomfortably, and said, "Grandmother, I didn't suffer."

"You child, your master is not here, are you afraid of telling the truth?" The empress dowager lowered her eyes and said, "Why have you been forced by him to practice swords all these years? Do you think the emperor's grandmother doesn't know?"

Mu Lin froze: "It's not..."

"I originally thought that if your mother is gone, I will bring you back to Luojing. But A Yuan entrusted you to Mu Wuqing before he died. He is also your biological father after all. The Ai family did not object and let you grow up in the Wuji Sword Sect "The queen mother frowned, her voice became colder and colder, "But how did he treat you these years?! He beat and scolded you frequently, forced you to practice swords, and even sent away the maids and maids sent by the Ai family to serve you. Go back..."

"No!" Mu Lin said hastily, "Grandmother, Madam Li and the others were sent back by me."

"What about the others?" The queen mother became more and more angry, "Someone told Aijia that you were imprisoned in the ice cave by Mu Wuqing and punished for three full months of confinement?!"

"No... I did something wrong, and I should be punished." Mu Lin's thoughts changed sharply, while he was thinking about whether he should tell the emperor's grandmother what happened back then, while guessing who spread the news.Originally, the ice cave was the place he hated the most, but those three months were completely different—he was accompanied by Afeng and the unknown swordsman, and he was able to enter the dreamland of his predecessors, practice swords with him, and untie the knot in his heart. For a big increase.Every time I think about it, I feel nostalgia and regret at the same time. I couldn't live a more fulfilling and happy life during that time. If the senior hadn't left first, he wished that time would stay there.

The imperial grandmother only cared about him, so how could she know the truth?

"People's hearts are made of flesh, but Mu Wuqing is colder and harder than a stone, and it can't be warmed." Even after 15 years, when the Empress mentioned Mu Wuqing, there was still undisguised hatred in her tone, "Poor My Ah Yuan made a fool of herself, and ended up in such a way...even to her only parent and child, she can be so ruthless!" The empress dowager spoke, her eyes began to turn red, she squeezed Mu Lin's hand tightly, and said, "A Lin , why not go back to Luojing with the emperor's grandmother, this Wuji Sword Sect has nothing to do with it."

"...What?!" Mu Lin was stunned for a moment.Xu Feng also pricked up his ears, rolled his eyes, and looked up at the empress dowager.

After the queen mother, out of various considerations, Xu Feng temporarily recovered the fox body.Just now he listened to the Queen Mother rambling about those past events, and he thought that Mu Lin must have heard a lot of one-sided words since he was a child, so he became more and more jealous of ruthlessness.Xu Feng thought that the Queen Mother was complaining as usual, and she was still planning other things in her mind, but she didn't expect her voice to change, and said that the fundamental purpose of coming to Taiyang Mountain this time was to take Mu Lin away!

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Lin, and said earnestly: "You are the blood of the royal family of Yu Kingdom, and you should go back to Luojing. You don't know how much the Ai family misses you when you are away. The Ai family regretted more than once that they did not treat you as a child." Take it with you and raise it."

"A Lin, listen to the emperor's grandmother. Instead of staying in Taiyang Mountain to practice hard, it's better to go back with the emperor's grandmother to live the life of rich clothes and fine food. When you reach the crown, you will be granted the king and the land. Then you can have whatever you want. Who else can control you?!"

Mu Lin said anxiously: "But Grandmother, I still want to practice swords, I..."

"Where can't you practice swordsmanship?" The queen mother said, "there are no fewer swordsmen in the imperial city than in Taiyang Mountain. When the time comes, whatever you want to learn, the imperial grandmother can find a teacher for you. Why stick to the mere ruthless swordsmanship?"

Mu Lin's whole body tensed up, and he felt more and more inappropriate: "But my brothers and sisters from the same school are all here..."

"It's nothing. You will be crowned king and knight in the future. If you want to see them, you can call them at any time." The queen mother said naturally, "This matter has been decided. I will tell your master that he has to agree if he disagrees. The emperor's grandmother can't Let me watch you suffer..."

Xu Feng nestled quietly in Mu Lin's arms, listening to Mu Lin's every defense being interrupted by the Empress Dowager, he thought, no wonder Qi Yuan had to escape from the palace back then.

The parents of the empress and empress are typical authoritarian parents who say "I'm for your own good, so you have to listen to me".The empress dowager has been in the top position for a long time, and she has always talked about herself and she is the only one. After talking for a while, she began to criticize Mu Wuqing, saying that he killed his daughter and abused his own grandson.When Mu Lin was a child, when he heard the empress dowager say this, he always felt sorry for the empress dowager who shed tears with her, and at the same time, he hated Mu Wuqing for refusing to get close to him.But now when he heard the empress dowager's words of complaint, he just felt like sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't want to listen any more.

His senior brothers all stood under the stage, surrounded He Li and Huo Ling, cheering them on.Only he had special treatment, and was ordered to speak with the queen mother on the high platform, overlooking the crowd and unable to participate, quite out of place.

It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was not interested in the content of the comparison test after she came to the Wuji Fairy Club.Coincidentally, the first competition in the afternoon was held between He Li and Huo Ling, only one of them could be left, and it was completely against each other.

The topic of the competition is "Stepping on the Heavenly Steps" - with the school field as the formation, set up nine extreme heavenly steps, implying nine levels of swordsmanship, step by step to reach the top.Each heavenly rank appears randomly, and only one person can be accommodated. Participants need to avoid fairy traps such as strong winds and flames that may appear at any time. Whoever reaches the ninth extreme heavenly rank first will pass the level and advance.

Seeing Huo Ling and He Li Yujian gradually climbed to the first extreme level, Mu Lin became more and more anxious, as if he was divided into two halves.Half of them were forced to respond to the Queen Mother, trying to ignore her words, and the other half couldn't wait to go on, squeezing into the crowd and cheering with everyone.

The queen mother frowned and looked down, and said: "It's your turn to compete later, don't be like them. The ranking is not important, be careful not to get hurt."

As if being stabbed by a thorn, Mu Lin stood up abruptly and said, "Grandmother, it is inevitable to get injured in the competition. I want to come out on top, so how can I not go all out?"

"Oh, why are you in a hurry." The queen mother pressed him down and coaxed him to say, "Okay, okay, grandma believes in you, isn't it easy for Ah Lin to get the first place?"

Mu Lin was not happy at all after hearing this.Huo Ling and He Li fought wonderfully, but he was a little out of his mind.My heart was in a mess, I couldn't see Mu Wuqing no matter how long I waited.Mu Lin lowered his head depressedly, and found that his little fox was staring straight behind him, and asked in puzzlement: [Afeng, what are you looking at? 】

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: 【Huo Wuji, and Yan Qing. 】

Mu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced back from the corner of the eye.But Yan Qing was originally the hidden guard of the Forbidden Pavilion, so he had already noticed their gazes, flashed like a shadow, and disappeared.Mu Lin turned his head, just facing Huo Wuji.Huo Wuji twirled his beard, smiled gently, and said, "Ah Lin, don't be nervous."

Mu Lin's intuition was wrong, but before he could figure out why, Huo Ling climbed to the ninth heavenly rank first, ending the competition.There was a wave of cheers erupting around, and Mu Lin suddenly realized that it was time for him to play.

This time in the Wuji Immortal Association, the Wuji Sword Sect has the right time, place and people, and the inner disciples themselves are outstanding, and it is very likely that they will win the top three.Mu Lin picked up the little fox, and tiptoed off the high platform. At the same time, another black-clothed monk jumped out of the crowd and landed opposite Mu Lin.

Naturally, Mu Lin couldn't bring spirit beasts into the arena.When he handed Xu Feng over to Qi Shuiyan, Xu Feng stretched out his claws to grab him, saying: [A Lin, be careful with this man, he uses a knife. 】

【Um. ] Mu Lin rubbed his head, and kissed the little fox on the forehead, 【I will win, remember my reward. 】
